Garbage collection - 1 "Greetings, Amigo, my dear student. I'm glad to see you here at the library. I want to ask you something important: what do you think of Garbage Collectors?"
Java university

"Oh… Professor, you know… I guess it could be my cup of tea if I were to stop learning how to program…"

"Ha! Amigo, sometimes you're really funny. However, this is a serious question and I'm talking about Java."

"Well, I have to admit I know nothing about the topic, sorry…"

"No worries, Amigo. That's okay for a CodeGym 6th grader. I have a useful article for you. It's called Object lifecycle. Please read it. You’ll find out how garbage collection works."

It's better to remove the Object.finalize() example since it's no longer in use. It's confusing for beginners when they expect a result to work and doesn't find it running properly.

Who will collect garbage? There are only two options... 

String garbage-collector = (Me.studyJava()) ? "java" : "me";
